In the last few days i have developed red not exactly pimples nor a rash but it has spread to three pockets of six or seven in each pocket not itchy but kind of burns when touched.they are on my upper left thigh going into groin area, What can I do? YYYY@YYYY Thank you

Hi,
The rash could be a hypersensitivity reaction to a drug or a tinea infection. You could empirically apply an antifungal cream and take an antihistamine tablet for a week. If your symptoms do not improve in a week or if your rash worsens, I request you to consult your dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and to initiate the apt treatment.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Siva Subramanian,
